Mexican handmade knotted art in \"amate\" paper, w/ maple frame. Patterns:
$380.00
This is a very niceMexican handmade amate \"bark\" paper artwork.
\"Amate\" paper (bark paper) isstill created nowadays using the sametraditional technique used at pre-columbian Mesoamerica. It ismade fully by hand from the bark of the \"ficus\" tree with sacred meaning forindigenous.
Thefibers coming out of the boiled bark aresoftened with flat volcanic rocks. In the making of this paper art, the artisans use the still wet andmalleablefibers of the bark wood to make all the forms and patterns you can see with their bare hands, they make knots, they perform paper embossing as a like, then let them dry in open air on wooden boards when they get stiff like cardboard.
This paper art is fully natural,the colors are achieved using dirt and natural dies from plants applied directly to the fibers, sotheywon\'t fade during time (direct sunlight might change them a bit). All what you see in the art is made fully by hand and it´s all amate paper anything else. No machine is usedfor its confection. They are made in Mexico byOtomi artisans from Puebla by my request.
This is real \"one of a kind\" artwork. Any of them are similar to other.
As a perfect complement for this fine art, I framed it with a very nice wooden frame made by me fully by hand with premium natural american Maple wood with exotic wood inserts (Tigerwood,a Brazilian hardwood -named Koa-),and finished with several coats of polyurethane in its natural tone. The finish of theframe is a kind of satin not too glossy.
Even when this is an artisan folk art coming frommillennium traditional making, the mix of the patterns, the nice mat color and the angled frame give the art an awesome look even for modern contemporary decoration. These are the dimensions of this art: The frame is 18-1/2 x 18-1/2 inches and 3/4 inch depth. The \"amate\" art is 15-1/2 inches each side.
The art is fixed to a high quality 4 ply medium intensity brown matfor embellishment. You will also get it with aprotective clear plexiglass acrylic (almostunbreakable)as shown in the pictures. Yes, it is expensive but I think the piece worths it. It is also lightweight and it will last a lifetime.
The frame comes with a serrated stylehanger and the back is fully covered with kraft paper for dust protection, as qualitycraftsmanship should be. It has in the lower part of the backing a couple of rubber bumpers to let the moistureflowthroughout the back without damaging the art or your wall.
We can assure that you will enjoy this fine and nice art; both, the Amate Paper artwork as well asthehandmade wooden frame.
